Hello Martin. I grew up in Green Bay and now live near Milwaukee. I own property on Lake Michigan that I am going to build on but the lumber prices have put that on hold so I have been looking to buy land or rentals.

I studied the Planning department meeting minutes for Sturgeon Bay and Egg Harbor so far for the previous 10 years. What I am seeing are lots of condo projects and mixed use over the last 5 years.

I am curious to see if supply outstrips the demand or if the supply makes more people visit Door County.

I have also seen a change in mindset of these planning departments from stringy, “don’t like change” mentality to more open and flexible.

As far as prices, I feel that they increased proportionately to everywhere else depending on location (of course). The more walkable the property then the more demand.
